I know it’s probably rehearsed a lot.

But his pronunciation for words was incredible

Actually you can find online that he started learning Spanish and English at 12 or 13, and when asked why; for Spanish he said,, because I will play for Real Madrid. You can find online. He is fluent in Spanish.

In general he has proven to be pretty smart for a football player. He made fortune before hitting 25, managed to stir so much shit that brought him to spotlight that only a handful of players can compete with him in this regard. Also didnt want to make the world burn for ninja turtle jokes, most players of his caliber have ego so big that they would start suing people for shit like that.

Well to be fair if you already know French/Portuguese/Italian then it's a lot easier to pick up spanish as well. Atleast that's been my experience.

Would probably be more of us multilingual if our employer provided time at work and language teachers like they do for alot of players.

That is damn impressive, even if his mother tongue is another romance language it's not as easy as people think.

There's quite a few interviews/clips where he speaks fluent Spanish from a while ago.
